Coal and the "CombIne.'

New York Herald; The poor miner
of Pennsylvania declare that the coal
''combine" has not kept its promises
to them, and in a word is systematic
ally cheating them. Well. what can
be expected? These wealthy specula-
tors are cheating the public, too.
They made their mutual agreement
in the autumn to control the product of
the mines and to drive the price of coal
up as high as the people would stand.
They have kept their agreement faith
fully.
They are worth millions. but they
see a chance to make millions more.
What do they care if the poor wretches
in our crowded tenements crouch
shivering in the cold, while children
die by the score because there is no fire
in the CRATE and no money to buy fuel?
Look at a few facts. Before this
trouble began coal was from 81 to $3.50
4 ton. Now a couple of dollars have
been added to the price. and the poor
man who is doomed to buy it by the
pail actually pays ut the rate Of So per
ton. The figures are mounting all the
time. and Heaven only knows what
he viii have to pay when the next cold
snap sets in.
From the Atlantic to the Mississippi
the people are being robbed that a few
speculative rascals may have more city
houses and more country houses and
more per cents. Conscience? Non
sense. A piece of lignumvit@ has more
conscience thaa they. What they need
is taste of some good, hard-headed
and hard-fiSted law

New YoRK, June 18.-The two thousand
dollar championship of the world light
weight prize fghr, between Jim Carney,
English champion, and Jimmy Mitchell,
of Philadelphia, came off last night,
thirty miles up the sound. Kid gloves
were used. In the eleventh and last
round, Carney opened by planting q
heavy left handler on MitchelPs mouth
that staggered him. Then Carney jumped
at him, and let go the right and left on
the face and body, knocking Mitchell
down. Mitchell being unable to come to
time, the fight was givento Carney. The
blow that did the business for Mitchell
was left handed smash on the right
cheek bone. The time of fight was AZ
minutes. 1t was the first time that ever
Mitchell had been knocked out. He says
the sensation is something beyond descrip-
ton. Carney was not injured apparently.
